Synopsis:

The quiet village of Sotoba is shattered by a series of unsettling deaths, beginning with the sudden passing of a young girl named Megumi. As the summer progresses and more unexplained fatalities occur, Dr. Toshio Ozaki becomes convinced that a deeper, more disturbing force is at work than simple illness. He assembles an unlikely team – Natsuno Yuuki, a detached local, and Megumi’s friends Kaori and Akira Tanaka – to investigate the growing mystery. Their inquiries lead them toward a hidden truth connected to the newly arrived Kanemasa family and their imposing mansion. The series explores themes of grief, community secrets, and the unsettling nature of loss, unfolding within a subtly eerie atmosphere that gradually reveals the darkness lurking beneath Sotoba's peaceful facade.
